...even though it seems like it to me sometimes...so in keeping with the recent theme, here's this little tease from a good friend of the band:

"Shortly after I arrived, before taking to their respective instruments, Adam suggested that everyone should first have a listen to what they had recorded during the previous session in order to make sure that all were in agreement with certain recently added sections. And listen they did. In fact, to give you some idea - my parking meter expired twice before they were done. And judging from the smiles on their faces, it seemed that, for the most part, Danny, Adam and Justin liked very much what they were hearing and that after some finishing touches, the 'epic' tune would be ready for Maynard to do his thing. (During some of the more melodic passages, I was trying to envision the vocals which, to me, brings it all together.)

After a bit of discussion about some rapid-fire triplets in one section, I asked Danny if he was going to be able to knock out the piece in one take when it came time to track it? His response was to smile and bury his head in his hands, which I will let the readers interpret for themselves. As for the song itself, without giving too much away, it features complex time signatures, interesting harmonic structure and expanding effects processing - similar to what fans of Tool have come to expect - only now, perhaps not surprisingly, the band has taken it to the next level."

The John Mayer, Earl Sweatshirt, and Blue October albums are all available for streaming on Spotify today, the day of their release. That doesn't always happen. Well, techinically since this is the only time all three of those bands have released an album on the same day, as of right now, it DOES always happen. But you know what I mean.

TV on the Radio have a new song floating on the breezes of cyberspace. If you're super cool, you've known this for days (weeks!) now, but if you're only moderately cool, or super cool but also super busy with other super cool stuff, you haven't.
